Class #3 Buddhism

Buddhism and how it affects Japanese daily life.
Today we will have 2 kinds of homework (last week I forgot). Please answer these questions separately in yourt blog. Also, check the other blogs from time to time and write your comments in the other blogs about the answers to today's homework. Here are the questions:
1. How is your daily life affected by Buddhism? What do you do and why do you do it?
2. The next class will be about Islam. Check the newspapers for the next 2 weeks and find articles about Islam. How are they talked about? Do you feel negative or positive about Islam because of these articles? Summarize one article in English and post it on your blog. Try to keep a list of adjectives used to describe Islam. Remember to put the name of the newspaper, date and page of the article you summarized.

Class #2 What is CCC?

Today we discussed about Culture, Communication and Cross Culture Communication.
Here is your homework: During the next week, read the newspaper everyday and find 1 article that has to do with cross culture understanding or differences (English or Japanese newspaper). In your blog, note the newspaper, date, page (or web address), summarize the article in English and write why you think this is a cross culture situation.

Welcome to HJU CCC Class for 2007
